Warriors / Pacers Open Thread

Another night, another loss to an average-at-best team. From looking at the box score, I’m guessing this loss rests on our defense, given that the team finally managed a decent shooting night (Jackson 8-12, Belinelli 8-16, Azubuike 6-12). Demarcus Nelson’s return might help a bit on locking down opposing guards, but I’m curious whether we’re seeing any signs of progress yet on the defensive front. Whether Don Nelson starts demanding it or the players take it upon themselves to impose it, something needs to change. It was clear when we were struggling offensively that we weren’t going to be able to outscore our opponents — the same now appears to hold true even on nights when the offense clicks.
